That's nice, but given the choice between impact testing (which I'm
assured has been done, and the buses stand up to as much abuse as the
old style) and your feelings, I'll take the test results any day.

Ed> 2) There is no leg room for those of us with long legs.

Buses are typically designed to maximize useful seating, and providing
room for the outlying longer legged people would reduce the number of
seats, and thus the carrying capacity.  My knees often rub on the seat
in front of me too, but you've always got the option of standing.

Ed> 3) There is much less seating in the new bus than on the old ones.

You would seem to be contradicting yourself.  You want less seating so
there will be more leg room, then you complain there is too little
seating?  I haven't seen any numbers for passenger loads, so it's hard
to comment more.  Perhaps George knows this one.

Funny, I had no trouble with it.
